Priyanka Chopra is legit ruling the industry right now. With an immense fan following here in Bollywood and equal popularity in Hollywood has made Pee Cee the most talked about and sought-after actress.

While the world is in awe of her and she is easily one of the best things to happen to our industry, a recent confession around her Miss World title has left us in dismay. As known to all, Priyanka was crowned with the 'Miss India' title in the year 2000 at the age of 17.

Now, in a book by Aseem Chhabra, Priyanka Chopra: The Incredible Story of a Global Bollywood Star, a person named Pradeep Guha who was a mentor at the 2000 competition revealed how a jury member felt Priyanka Chopra was less deserving because she was 'Too Dark'.

Pradeep revealed, "Not everybody in the jury was initially in favour of her. One person mentioned she's too dark, further adding, I said, 'Yaar come on -- look at South American girls. They keep winning and some of them are pretty dark as are all the girls from Africa. So I said what are you talking about?' I was always very certain about her and as I said this woman never made a mistake twice".




Further adding in the book, he stated, "She kind of always improved on herself day on day, a day on day. I knew that she would give in 200 percent if she gets in".

"I think she needed a little more confidence. I think she wasn't quite sure initially whether this was the thing she wanted to do. She came in a bit tentatively. By the time the contest started she seemed a lot more collected and definitely more confident of herself", Guha concluded.
